Supporting the survivors of pedophilic sexual assault and rape is a “very hostile act” against the Trump administration. Sounds right to me. We should all act with much hostility towards the treasonous sexual predator who’s currently occupying the White House.
I miss the South Bank show still!
1500% cut in drug prices for you!
Fed's Beige Book: "Nearly all Districts noted tariff-related price increases, with contacts from many Districts reporting that tariffs were especially impactful on the prices of inputs." bit.ly/45MUb11
The corrupt outlaws pretending to care about crime and drugs in America. Hogwash!
"It's the unvarnished truth."
In less than a year, Trump has made the US dramatically weaker, less relevant and thoroughly disrespected with his incoherent “America First” policies. The treasonous conman may have duped American voters easily but the world is not nearly as susceptible to his nonsense. apple.news/AD19M2lGiRdm...
Unless they’re willing to humiliate themselves and lie like they’re the treasonous sexual predator himself, they cannot be part of the cabinet. So pathetic. They must realize that History is recording this shitshow.
The treasonous sexual predator and serial felon thinks crime will be the most important issue of the midterms. Are voters as stupid as he thinks they are? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...
Fox News viewers must be lied to or they change the channel. This we learned already from the Dominion law suit.
Truth is completely alien to these dumbasses. They insist on being ruled by lies.

Trump’s pro-life priorities. What a con! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
The kids were literally praying at the time of their shooting. If we don’t have the political will to even try to prevent such tragedies appeals to a god will hardly do.
One of many cockups made by Trump due to his extraordinary pettiness, ignorance and stupidity. The US-created system of global alliances and economic partnerships has been torn apart by the reality tv president. Well done voters! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/b...
Trump is as dumb as a stump.

“Reversing the shift toward renewable energy not only attacks attempts to address the crisis of climate change and boosts the fossil fuel industry on which some of Trump’s allies depend, but also undermines a society based on the independence of American workers.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...
How to take the US down several leagues in one easy step. Elect Trump to the presidency and sit back. Putin and Xi must be loving it. apple.news/A2267LHGoSky...
“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

The revenge of the morons.
A great reminder that being gay does not in fact protect you from being cruel, easily deluded and conned or being dumb as a rock. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/s...
Ken Calvert - who voted against certifying the 2020 election results - is getting a taste of his own medicine. Great news! Californians must approve the new congressional maps that wipe him, Issa and Kim out! abc7.com/post/congres...
GAVIN. FUCKING. NEWSOME. That's the tweet. 🙌💪👇
Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing
And that is likely what it will take to convince voters that the extremists they elected into power are working directly against their interests. An economy in utter chaos and a public health system transformed into one that promotes the spread of illnesses and diseases.
Too bad, dumbass! Should have thought about that before he acted unlawfully! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/u...
The tariff policies of the treasonous sexual predator are obviously completely unlawful. The extremists are finding the limits to the liberal constitutional order eight months after taking office. What an unprecedented shitshow by a clown of a POTUS. stocks.apple.com/AhdbAHU1_T5C...
As John Bolton said, “Trump is too stupid to have an ideology”. It’s all about accumulating power and using it recklessly without regard for the country or world. Trump is a malignant narcissist. He’s destroying the rule of law and tearing the US apart. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/o...
Will America ever turn on these hateful people? I do hope so.
“Fed’s Preferred Inflation Gauge Stayed Stable in July” WRONG! Compared with the same time last year, those “core” prices - the actual preferred measure! - were up 2.9 percent, slightly higher than June’s year-over-year increase. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/b...
The treasonous sexual predator shouldn’t have the power to do this. He wants only criminals like himself offered protection. stocks.apple.com/AvAMMMrPcRya...
This is how it should be in our Nation.
Outlier Nation. The endless killings of American children is the price the country is willing to pay for its second amendment. If this isn’t extreme political cowardice, I don’t know what is.
It’s more accurate to see Trump as Putin’s accomplice in the slaughter of civilians rather than as a good-faith mediator. Once one faces the fact that Trump is owned by Putin, his extreme cowardice makes sense. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...
Jeezus. What a disaster.
Glad to hear. What a useless Senator she is!
I suppose many Americans will just have to die from preventable diseases until voters realize what a catastrophe the treasonous sexual predator and his cabinet picks are. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Not even close.
Look at this kakistocracy! A once great country now run by the worst, most stupid people and led by a lifelong criminal POS. Unreal. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
this stuff is such a disgrace. a free citizen of a free country should be ashamed to engage in it.
Shamelessness is their god.
Trump is the least fit person ever to disgrace the White House and country. Watching him destroy the institutions and norms that have supported the country’s and world’s progress over eight decades has been astonishing. The US is led by a treasonous and felonious imbecilic conman. Shameful.
The convicted felon and lifelong fraudster thinks he has unlimited power. The legal cases in opposition to his lawlessness are stacking up. His complicity with the Epstein-Maxwell pedophile ring is slowly being uncovered. The tighter the noose the more he flails. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
Trump blows up Fed Reserve Board independence with strong-arm, illegal intimidation and the markets react how exactly? Are they aligned with the economic interests of the country’s economy or flexible enough for 21st century crony-capitalist authoritarianism? stocks.apple.com/A-nFqwydrSQC...
Kamala Harris was right. But she’s a woman. She’s Black. We can’t have that!! Now look where we’re at.

“A historical analysis and average by Gallup shows Trump's approval ratings in the first July of both of his terms are lower than those of any other modern president.” The country needs to excise the malignant cancer that is Trump. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
The fact free presidency. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
“Meeting With South Korea’s Leader, Trump Praises North Korean Dictator” Remember when some said they were embarrassed by Biden as our POTUS? Every day is one of shame and horror with this treasonous sexual predator and imbecilic con man in the White House. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
Trump wipes his ass with the constitution every day.
Trump’s presser today was bat shit crazy as always. His insistence that his first term economy was the best ever, like all his other lies, is a whopper. Just to recap, in his first four years, the economy lost more jobs than at anytime since Herbert Hoover. @carlquintanilla.bsky.social
Agreed!
Evilbible.com A great reference.
About as good an analysis as I’ve read. Thank you. It will be shared!
This hits right on time… My wife and I had the great privilege of visiting the African-American Museum in DC, and let me just tell you if you have not been…It is a masterpiece—go.
KILMAR IN BALTIMORE: “Never lose hope. Promise me you’ll continue fight for freedom — not just for me, for everybody.” He was just taken into ICE custody.
I prefer Gavin Newsom’s posts.
Making America Great Again? What a stupid dumbass Trump is. stocks.apple.com/AIfyZflPFRIa...
What starts off as purely performative morphs into seriously troubling abuses. Trump and his collaborators seem intent on destroying every institution of civil society and so far they’re succeeding. This cancer must be stopped and excised by courts and voters. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/24/u...
Another not to be missed episode. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...
Only seven months to lay waste to the best economy in the world. The treasonous sexual predator in the White House is economically illiterate and the data proves it. stocks.apple.com/AphLtqxUzQ5u...
I hope he can sue the fuck out of these sons of bitches at ICE.
Are there any competent people left in the US government? I don’t think Putin could sabotage the country any more thoroughly than the treasonous sexual predator and his kakistocracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/u...
Trump has made the US a full shithole country in only 7 months. Don’t let anyone tell you politics don’t matter. Heading towards North Korea via Greece and Argentina. Well done voters! www.nytimes.com/2025/08/22/u...
Too close to the bone? 😂
Of course she did. She may be a convicted child rapist, trafficker and liar but she knows that Trump has the pardon power and just how guilty he is. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Rates will likely be cut in Sept because the risk of a contracting economy is greater than the risk of rising inflation. Both sides of the mandate are moving in the wrong direction thanks to Trump’s policies. Hardly something to celebrate. stocks.apple.com/A5b8aQ42VSkq...
The eye of the storm seems bright and clear. Give it a couple more months for unemployment to start spiking.
WTAF? No one has ever “leaked” top secret intelligence information like the treasonous sexual predator Trump! His corrupt kakistocracy is just blatantly going after his critics as though he’s running a dictatorship. We need to excrete this cancer now! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
What a lawless pile of shite this treasonous sexual predator is.
As long as we can take Issa and Calvert’s seats, I’ll be happy. These two are worse than useless. They voted against certifying Biden’s win in 2020 and thereby betrayed their own constituents, their state and their country’s democracy. They deserve to be out of the “representation” business.
Excellent news!
This is how all the world’s people should react to seeing the hero President Zelensky! The exact opposite of how they should react to seeing the ugliest of ugly Americans - the treasonous sexual predator, Trump.
At least we can count on Powell to do what he and the board think is right for the economy rather than what the economically illiterate and treasonous POS thinks. That will end when he’s gone and the US will take another giant leap towards shitholedom. stocks.apple.com/A22X7MFFfRBi...
Pro-environment and pro-science also, please!
Who watches CNN anymore? They’ve given themselves over to white nationalists and assorted dumbfuckery.
“Donald Trump truly knows no bottom when it comes to undermining democratic norms, running a familial kleptocracy and, in the felicitous phrase of Gustavo Arellano, my fellow Times columnista, treating the Constitution like a pee pad.” It’s all you need to know. www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
The Fox News cabinet is full of fascist dumbasses.
Great. Now if the rest of the civilized world can do the same, it will help America a lot! www.vrt.be/vrtnws/en/20...
A massive bonfire of the garbage this crass POS leaves including his illegal executive orders is a great idea!
Confirmation that “woke” means educated! The revenge of the morons is what this is.
Bret Baier texted Fox News executive Jay Wallace to express dismay at the election coverage provided by Maria Bartiromo. “None of that is true as far as we can tell,” Baier wrote. “We need to fact-check this crap.” One journalist in a sea of pure partisan shite. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/fac...
Ms. Bartiromo, a host on Fox Business and Fox News, texted Rudolph Giuliani, then a personal lawyer to Mr. Trump, about the election results on Nov. 12, 2020: “I want you to overturn this.” A news media platform with no journalists of any kind. Just partisan hacks. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/b...
Taking tariffs down to zero - from 1% - 2% - is going to ignite an American manufacturing renaissance? This gang can’t keep its story straight. The economic pain and social insecurity that’s coming for millions will not be explained away easily. Shameful hucksterism.
I hope this traitor faces justice some day soon.
Trump’s assault on the Smithsonian is for his credulous and “aggrieved” base. The most ignorant POTUS in history, the most crass and vulgar, has placed himself in charge of the country’s Arts, Museums and Universities. The US is hostage to an imbecilic, authoritarian con man.
Total moron owned by Putin.
This treasonous POS could give a shit about children. That’s why he’s in the Epstein files as much as he is.
Absolutely right conclusion. Calvert and Issa refused to certify Biden’s election victory betraying their own constituents, their state and their country’s democracy. Time to remove as many of these traitors as possible through peaceful gerrymandering! www.latimes.com/california/s...
“Putin’s offer is to take a piece of Ukraine in exchange for not threatening an even bigger piece of Ukraine. This is not what we normally think of as a swap. It’s what we think of as extortion.” Trump is owned by Putin. Nothing else makes sense. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/19/o...
All Trump has ever had is lies and betrayal.
Putin’s stupid bitch has no idea what he’s saying. His ignorance and stupidity are limitless. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
This is nearly $900 million that news entities have had to pay out for publishing lies about the 2020 presidential election. Yet Donald Trump, who lost by more than seven million votes, keeps repeating the Big Lie and makes it compulsory dogma for his employees.
